SVT-V Series Wireless Vibration Sensors

SVT-V-series wireless vibration & temperature sensors continuously monitor vibration & temperature in real time 24/7. The sensors can detect accidents and send out alarm within 0.5 second typically, which is crucial for important assets.  They are the only true real-time wireless vibration sensors and the best performance among overall vibration measurement sensors.

SVT-V series wireless vibration sensors include SVT200-V, SVT300-V and SVT400-V. They are true real-time vibration monitoring sensors with the fastest response time in the industry. They are ideal for continuous vibration monitoring to detect accidents that require immediate response. ISO 10816 standard can be referred to determine the machine condition easily, even for technicians without any vibration analysis background. The measurements can be used for AI-based predictive maintenance too. The sensors integrate edge computing algorithm and monitor machines 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week continuously. SVT-V series wireless vibration sensors take acceleration samples continuously at low frequency.

If there is an vibration event that exceeds 0.1g at any one of the x, y, z axes for more than 330ms, then the sensors switch to high speed sampling rate, take a fixed number of samples and compute the vibration velocity RMS (mm/s or inch/s) and acceleration RMS (g), measures temperature and then transmit the result to the wireless gateway. If there is no vibration event, the sensors still switch to high-speed mode every 10 seconds and send out the result to the wireless gateway. SVT-V series sensors' battery can last more than 3 years in a typical factory environment (about 12-hour machine running time) before the battery replacement.

SVT-V series wireless vibration sensors use single M6 screw hole case in default, and two screw-hole case optional. SVT200-V has the acceleration range up to 8g; SVT300-V has the acceleration range up to 16g, and SVT400-V has the acceleration range up to 64g.

For example, the specs of SVT200-CA are similar to SVT200-A, except power supply, size and weight. Instead of using battery, the SVT-C series sensors use 9V-36V power supply, which is ideal for applications that have power supply such as spindle machines.

The case of SVT-C series sensors is made of stainless steel & industrial plastic. The size of SVT-C sensor is 30x18x13 mm (1.18x0.71x0.51 inch). The weight of SVT-C sensor including power supply cable is 56g (1.98 oz). The default length of the power supply cable (coaxial) is 8 feet (2.5 m). The cable length can be customized.

SVT-C series sensors can be mounted with epoxy, or customized mounting bracket.

SVT-L Series Long Range Wireless Vibration Sensors

SVT-L series sensors have more than tripled the range of standard wireless vibration & temperature sensors. They are ideal for locations with poor signal or strong interference. The sensors function exactly the same as the standard sensors and can replace them directly without any changes.

SVT-L series sensors have unmatched long-range, high data rate and battery life. The sensors can reach up to 1km (0.6miles) with Broadsens’s edge-computing gateways. Users can transmit data over long distances without compromising reliability or accuracy. SVT-L series wireless vibration sensors integrate seamlessly with existing Broadsens's edge-computing gateways.

SVT-L sensors include SVT-LA and SVT-LV sub series, which function the same as SVT-A and SVT-V series sensors. SVT-LA sub series includes SVT200-LA, SVT300-LA and SVT400-LA; SVT-LV sub series include SVT200-LV, SVT300-LV and SVT400-LV.

The weight of the SVT-L series sensors is 117 g (4.1 oz) including battery. The size of the sensor is 37x71 mm (1.46x2.80 inch) diameter x height. SVT-L series sensors use ER18505 battery to support the higher transmission power. The sensors are FCC/IC and CE certified.
